4 Special Dispatch 10 the Appeal.
WASHINGTON, Dec. l0.-The eX-union
soldiers in the interior department are IN
dignant at the publication OF a statement
that the Association of Veterans has
adopted resolutions denouncing Secretary
Lamar, on account OF his treatment OF old
soldiers. They say that such an express
sion, ii made, does not represent the Grand
Army men. Capt. Fuller, who is one
armed Union soldier, and is in charge OF the
watch force OF the interior department, said
today: "The odsoldiers in this department
have no reason TO complain OF Secretary
Lamar; in fact, they have reason TO be
! grateful TO him, because he has looked ont
for their interests and kept them in their
places. In addition, he has made num-
Der OF appointments Of the old Union
soldiers. As far as the old soldiers in this
department are concerned, ] am sure that
they would do nothing in opposition TO
Secretary Lamar"
